That sounds excellent, Suzi. And it reminds me to reserve a forest service cabin. I desperately want to reserve one of the fire towers, but it seems like a disaster to do with Grace.

I just had an excellent baguette. I wish there were more consistent, better baguettes more regularly in my life.

Jesse, how frustrating. By the way, when he went on his walk on Sunday, had he just taken off? Or was that a usual routine walk he'd take for himself and this time it just didn't work out?

So I realized that my quick acceptance of a temporary 4-day work week with raise starts next week (three day weekend, hello Boston!) and that ED isn't in this Friday, and I don't know if he told boss lady of the new sitch. I'll text him later, but now I'm wondering if it's his responsibility or mine to inform boss lady that I'll be absent a day longer than she might normally expect. (I'd like for him to do it, since he has more authority, but I want to be able to pose the query so that that responsibility is made clear that it is his job, and not mine. But I'm not sure and need a little validation [for being a chicken shit].

I wonder what your friend distinguishes as merely femme.

I think "I wanted to make sure you knew I would be out X day per my new schedule assigned by Boss." should be sufficient.

I am feeling stupid. Why do I keep seeing "ICYMI" on Twitter; what does it mean?

In case you missed it.

He would go for a walk by himself a fair amount, I guess, but this time my mother was just downstairs for 45 minutes, and he took off. BTW, she did talk to EMS and found out exactly how and where they found him -- someone who had seen him on TV called 911.

Ah, thank you, Sue. Now I am less ignorant!

It took me FOREVER to figure out that FTW was For the Win and not some deliberate mixup of WTF, so I understand the feeling.
